It is with great sadness and a heavy heart to announce the passing of Dragica Trifunovski. She lived a full 89 years and everyone that crossed her path experienced what a positive and generous soul she was. Born in the Village of Drmeni Macedonia in 1934, Dragica was one of five children of Bore and Zorka Nastevski. Meeting her beloved husband in 1958, Gorge Trifunovski, they spent 58 beautiful years togther. From that point forward she was his partner in every way possible, moving from country to country, to visiting state to state. Making Chicago home in 1968, Dragica started working at Reynolds Aluminum until the day she retired 28 years later.
During her life she gave her unconditional love, support, and mentorship to everyone she met. Not a single person that came across her did not feel the need to hug her and call her Baba. Her greatest accomplishment in life was her family. She poured her heart and soul into each and every member to which we are eternally grateful.
The matriarch of the family left behind her Son Zlatko (Wife Slavica), Daughter Suzy Shattuck (Husband Ken), Grandchildren Elena Knobf (Husband Garrett), Alexia Shattuck (Fiance Pece), KJ Shattuck, Emily & Hanna Trifunovski,
and Great Grandchild Julian Knobf.
